Hi,
I'm hoping you guys can offer some advice. We are moving from Maryland to Florida.. we'll be driving the full 16 hours straight - no stopping overnight. We have a large carrier that is meant for dogs. We originally got if for our cat Keeba, but now that we have two cats we are thinking they might be able to share it during the trip.
This is the carrier.. we have the large size: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...amily&keepsr=1
We are going to get a disposable kitty litter to put in it and just replace it as they use it.
I have heard people say that they won't go to the bathroom due to stress, but I have had the new kitten Riley go in a carrier before after leaving the vets so I would prefer that we keep a kitty litter in there.
Anyways, my question is should we feed them before we leave or is that risking them getting car sick? Should we offer food while we are driving? Any advice to help them have the most comfortable experience is greatly appreciated it.
Thank you in advance!
